Will be joining a construction law team soon but having second thoughts Any construction lawyers here can share how did u find your passion for this practice area? It seems very narrow and dry. Even a specialized area like IP seems marginally more interesting How does ur construction and built environment sector knowledge translate to exit ops? Whether to other practice areas like infrastructure n projects, or to inhouse industries? Hope to hear some thoughts! |

Therefore, intl firm lawyers need to hit less billable targets to earn the same amount as local b4 lawyers. This translates to more *hypothetical* down time for the intl firm lawyers. Of course, YMMV. |

This guy clearly uninformed. US$225k a year after tax is about US$150k a year or about US$12.5k a month. That’s about $17k SGD which is about or slightly less than what a big 4 JP takes home. |

Hi fellow kind Sinkies, Genuine die-lemma: should I choose to join (i) a local Big 4 law firm as senior associate (paid less and work harder/sleep less (therefore likely to burn out), but can become PARTNER) or (ii) an international law firm (paid more and work less/sleep more, but very hard to become partner)? To give context, pay is $15k+/month at local and $20k+/month at intl, which seems marginal now, but at intl it can go up to $30-40k+/month. Thanks u |
